Plot
The English version has 30 episodes, and the other three languages have 13 episodes each.

Hector, with only a very basic grasp of English, comes to stay with his penpal, Bridget.

The series is particularly suitable for adolescents and young adults who can relate to the contextual setting and implied meanings in the screenplay.
